LEGO Tower In Toronto Breaks World Record

Standing 29.03 meters at the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto is the world's tallest Lego tower, breaking the previous record of 28.58 meters set earlier this year in Carlsbad, California.

Created by Lego builder experts Erik Therkelsen and Per Knudsen of Denmark, the tower will stand until the end of the CNE on September 3rd, as a new Lego tower will go up in Oslo, Norway in May 2008. "We take the tower apart brick by brick, just the way we put it up, pack them in our boxes and they get shipped back to Denmark," said Lotenfoe. Now that is what I call the ultimate Lego collection!
